The seventh generation of the Accord was available in Europe as a sedan and station wagon, the latter being named tourer.
The Accord Tourer was introduced a year after the sedan version, and its features were unexpected in its segment. Its main problem was that it was not offered with a wide range of engines and the automatic transmission was slow.

The sharp nose design with angry-looking headlights was one of the best-designed parts of the car. Up to the B-pillar, it had the same form as the sedan version, but there was a different vehicle from there. In their quest to built a roomy interior, the Japanese designers made the tailgate almost vertical, but it was very practical since it was fitted with electric opening and closing, a feature that was uncommon for its segment.

The interior was similar to the rest of the range, with a simple dashboard design. It was offered in a few trim levels, and only the top, Executive, version was available with a sat-nav system and sunroof. The rear seat backseat was folding in a 40/60 ratio to expand the trunk space and formed a flat floor from bumper to the front seats.

Under the hood, the Accord was available with only three engine options: 2.0-liter gasoline, 2.4-liter gasoline, and a 2.2-liter turbodiesel. The automatic gearbox was available only for the former ones. The latter was paired exclusively with a 5-speed manual gearbox until the 2005 facelift.
